Property Value

Type	Default	Description
OLAPDataProvider	Default	A OLAPDataProvider enumeration member that specifies which data provider should be used to bind to an OLAP cube.

Available values:

Name	Description
Default	The default OLAP provider (see the respective property description for details).
Adomd	The ADOMD.NET data provider.
OleDb	The OLE DB data provider.
Xmla	The XMLA data access standard.

Remarks

Pivot Grid Control can use one of the following data providers to communicate with the Microsoft Analysis Services server.

• OLE DB for OLAP

  Provides basic OLAP binding capabilities.

• ADOMD.NET

  Offers certain performance gains when compared to OLE DB, and yet allows you to retrieve OLAP member format strings and properties from the server.

• XMLA

  An open XML-based standard that does not require any data access libraries or data providers to be installed on the client system. Nevertheless, it supports all OLAP features available in OLE DB and ADOMD.NET.
